SEP Friends
SEP Friends brings together members of other Luiss schools and departments and other institutions (national and international, academic and otherwise). Contributors delve into issues related to SEP’s fields of study. This group meets at least once a year, and at the Director’s request.
Luiss SEP Strategic Policy Group
The Luiss SEP Strategic Policy Group, created in 2014, in addition to the members of the School’s Scientific Council, includes a small number of important exponents of Italian industry and finance and the heads of some public institutions active in economic and financial governance.
The Strategic Policy Group meets two or three times a year to discuss crucial issues of Italian and European governance and economic policies. Following each meeting and as a result of the discussion, the Group produces a policy brief which is then transmitted to the government authorities and subsequently circulated in Italy and abroad.
The Group’s aim is to identify strategic issues on which to express guidelines based on solid analyses implemented by the academic component, but also illuminated by the vision of the business leaders involved. The process of drawing up these guidelines uses the research results and, above all, the think tank activity carried out by SEP.
